At The TAI Group, we specialise in Communications, Leadership, and Organisational Alignment using principles from the performing arts. What I particularly enjoy about this work is its experiential nature, inviting clients to step into a creative space; to let go of what no longer serves them; to connect with their core, their authenticity; to become more effective and happier in business, which often radiates through into other facets of their lives.

I use the term "Personal Change Agent"​ to describe my holistic approach to personal change work. I empower clients to reconnect with their authentic selves, deep within their core, through a combination of hypnotherapy, regression, neuro-linguistic programming, coaching, and energetic healing. This multi-faceted approach enables me to tailor sessions to clients'​ needs so that, together, we can address any blocks or obstacles that may be stopping them from having the life they really want. The work can address belief systems, behaviours, attitudes, memories...For more information, see http://www.nicolasmichaelides.co.uk
